To wrap up July’s look at some of the lightest tech around, we’re putting the spotlight on M.2, NVMe SSDs. These tiny, lightweight sticks are the new storage standard in PC builds these days, but with these technological advancements comes some important distinctions and terms to know. In this video, JC explains the essentials of the M.2 form factor, what NVMe is, and where the two terms come together in M.2 NVMe SSDs.
Check out these M.2 NVMe SSDs on Newegg:

Thanks for the explanation, I saw a conversation of people saying "SSD is a good but m.2 is better" and others replying "yeah m.2 is better but Nvme is even better" and I was really confused. Now I know they were probably referring to the same Nvme m.2 SSD drive but they didn't know the first thing about Solid states drives 😂

@f.robert6856 3 года назад

@@Neweggstudio can you help me please? In my country, recently Crucial P1, P2, and P5 m.2 SSD-s are in good prices. P5 is more expensive, but P1 and P2 are in the same priceline which I`d buy an m.2 SSD from. Firstly simply I just thought that P2 is newer than P1, and simply a better SSD in all aspects, then I`ve started to look for reviews, tests about the 2 SSD-s, and I`ve found that it`s not even a straight choose. When I saw P2, although it`s newer release and faster, it was mentioned that it doesn`t have DRAM cache, TLC variant (but I`ve learnt from the video that it`s not so important), and in the time of release it has an average speed. While I was searching reviews about P1, users didn`t really scandalize it, they consider it as a reliable SSD, and in the time of its release they praised the speed of it. So I get quite confused with this. I know that P2 is later and has faster speed, but I don`t know if someone has a 3rd gen. m.2 socket, and the SSD-s of that gen are all between 1-2000Mbit, then 1-2-300Mbit difference shoud count so much that choose the less reliable SSD? Sorry I forgot to mention that I have a Dell g3 3590 laptop and I would use the laptop to have the op. system on it and for playing games and occasionally edit own videos with a software. That SSD would be the only drive in the laptop. Please, can you help me which is the best choose? Thank you for your help in advance.

I was definitely skeptical about the cost but I recently upgraded from a standard western digital 2TB HDD to a 1TB M.2 NVMe. The difference in boot up times alone was incredible. My Windows 11 desktop PC boots up in about 18 seconds, crazy fast. I highly recommend upgrading if you aren't already using NVMe. Do your homework and make sure you do it correctly though.

this helped a lot, I’m upgrading my Pc i’ve had for 6 years (was a gift so i didn’t build it and I’m new to PC parts) and i wanted to stream and upgrade storage. I noticed an M.2 was empty so i was thinking about getting an NvME for it, but got confused on what Sata and Nvme and M.2 meant. Sadly my motherboard only supports Sata m.2, but this cleared up a lot for me. Thanks

@xr680r 3 года назад

M key, B key, M+B Key, M Key SATA, B Key SATA and M+B Key SATA. With all the pre-built companies putting in cheaper M+B SATA drives it's nice to know what you pulled out of a machine if you decide to slap it in a PCIe adapter for say, a DIY NAS. Lots of laptops come with a 128gb M.2 SATA drive and it still huge for a boot drive on a home built NAS.

thx, that cleared out alot. I'm doing research into building my next music making pc and it's cool to know how the sample libraries that take agest to load will benefit from this architecture, especially because the modern plugin clients stream high volumes of samples off a disk and on a HDD , that really causes lots of caching glitches and stutter. Now I hope I can find the best motherboards that will read these cards in pcie4 mode.

@Casper042 Месяц назад

"Most Drives that use NVMe are M.2"... In the Laptop and Desktop world, yes. When you move into the land of Servers, M.2 is actually not as popular. U.2 and U.3 look like SATA 2.5" drives but are actually NVMe EDSFF is a family of form factors for NVMe drives which is going to replace U.2 and U.3. The main advantage to U.2, U.3 and EDSFF in the server world is Serviceability, Density and Cooling.
